Denied
The Board denied a higher rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and bipolar II disorder, as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a more severe disability rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity but not total occupational or social impairment required for a higher rating.
